A test suite for an key interface within a dimensional measuring system (coordinate measuring machine or CMM) is presented. The test suite consists of test...
Independent security functional testing on a product occupies a backseat in traditional security evaluation because of the cost and stringent coverage...
Approaches to software testing based on methods from the field of design of experiments have been advocated as a means of providing high coverage at relatively...
We use simulations to study the dependence of the phase error in the nose-to-nose oscilloscope calibration on the oscilloscope's sampling circuitry. We...
We reveal the techniques behind a successful implementation of the Multiline TRL calibration for vector network analyzers (VNAs). For the first time, this paper...
